About Us
Founded in 1974, and previously known as G.R & J. Atkinson and Atkinson Containers, PurePac continues to be a family run and owned business.
In the early days, the business dealt purely in the reconditioning and recycling of steel drums. We soon added plastic containers of various shapes and sizes to the product portfolio. We were one of the first companies to start reconditioning IBC Tanks.
As customer needs evolved, we expanded our offering to include plastic containers in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Over 30 years ago, we were proud to be among the first companies in the industry to introduce the reconditioning of IBC tanks — a service that has since become a core part of our operations.
Today, PurePac supports over 300 regular customers across a diverse range of industries, including food and drink, perfumery, pharmaceutical, and chemicals. Many of these relationships date back to our earliest years, which we believe is a true reflection of the trust and consistency we have built over time.
Unlike many in our sector, PurePac has grown without a dedicated sales force. The majority of our business has been generated through word of mouth, long-standing partnerships, and our reputation for delivering high-quality products alongside exceptional customer service.
Over the past 50 years, we have witnessed significant changes within the industry — from the shift of manufacturing overseas to increasing export demands, as well as evolving packaging and recycling legislation. Throughout this time, our strength has been our ability to adapt quickly and effectively. We continually refine our offering to ensure we provide the right products and services to meet our customers’ needs — always with a focus on quality, reliability, and value.
At PurePac, we remain committed to building lasting relationships, maintaining the highest standards, and supporting our customers in an ever-changing market.

Our business Mission Statement
PurePac recognised more than 40 years ago, that industrial packaging was not being recycled. PurePac believed a vast amount of industrial packaging could be reconditioned for reuse; the outcome being a more positive impact on the environment, whilst providing customers with additional packaging options, at more cost effective prices.
The PurePac Logo
PurePac's logo represents its core operations of reconditioning, recycling and selling new IBCs and drums. The logo features an empty square symbolising an IBC, with arrows inside to depict the container's lifecycle. Each arrow colour reflects a specific business area: Pink for new packaging, Blue for reconditioning, and Green for recycling. The blue arrow remains within the square, representing the internal cleaning process, while the green and pink arrows extend outside, indicating recycling and new packaging respectively. The strapline, "new and used packaging solutions," clearly communicates the company’s offerings.
